Telco had set up a full-fledged R&D department (called ERC or Engineering Research Centre) by the time the collaboration with Daimler Benz came to an end in 1969.
The 1210 itself was designed and produced indigenously. It had a direct injection engine whereas the Mercedes truck license produced by Tata earlier had indirect injection engine. 1210 was more fuel efficient and also more powerful than the Mercedes truck it replaced.

Any guy who knows a bit of diesel engines know that DI is more fuel effient that IDI. and it doesn't need ERC to unscrew the precombustion chamber, change the pistons and use a different injector and pumps and get a more powerful and torquier engine,
Bad example of Good R & D by tata..
Tell Me more about how 697 achieved Euro 3 and we'll see whether ERC has foriegn collaboration,
Or maybe the Indica V2 engine (Another product of ERC.. without foriegn collaboration???),
Or the safari engine.
